Back from Japan (and Festival Asia announcement)!

After two amazing weeks exploring Japan with my fantastic travel buddy, Oana, I’m home! This was by far the greatest holiday I’ve ever had and I am more in love with Japan than ever. I’m still sorting through all the photos from Tokyo, Sendai, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kanazawa, but there will be plenty of travel posts appearing on the blog over the next few months, so stay tuned! If you can’t wait, I’ve already tweeted a few photos…

Fortunately, I don’t have to wait too long before my next Japan fix as Festival Asia is making its debut in London this May. This all encompassing Asia event will be taking place at Tobacco Dock Friday 15 – Sunday 17 May, incorporating food, fashion, spirituality, art, music, performance, culture, artefacts, spices, meditation rooms, plus much more. The schedule is yet to be confirmed but there’s plenty of Japanese goodness to experience over the weekend; including taiko drums, shamisen, Japanese swordsmanship, kempo and a reiki healing presentation. I’ll be posting more about Festival Asia as things are announced but you can check out the event and buy your tickets over on the website.
